Everything in this post is based on my real experience. At first, I trusted him.' "He introduced himself as the brother of a famous celebrity. He spoke well and told me about his dreams, saying he was running a business. At the time, I had no reason to doubt him. I thought he was an impressive person and believed that he genuinely cared about me. But that was a complete misunderstanding. He did not have my consent. One day, we were having sex at his house. It was only later that I found out— He had secretly filmed the intercourse with a hidden camera.' The post further claimed that Jisoo's brother was involved with several women at the same time. He reportedly pressured some into sending explicit videos and 'treated women as sexual objects, disregarding their consent and emotions.' 'I never gave my consent. I didn't know I was being filmed. I am a victim,' the anonymous post also mentioned. The user added that she is open to pursuing legal action against him and ready to go public and also urged others to share their stories too.
